I am not sure if it was this site or somewhere else but i saw a away of dynamically changing Windows XP Computer description field with the name of the logged on user.

Does anyone know how to do this with vbscript as i thought it was very cool and as i am building our XP desktop i think my helpdesk guys could really benifit from that kind of info

Thanks for any light you can shine on this

Ok i have added to the code from above to get the username of the person logged onto the machine.

What i would like to do is add to the description what VLAN they are on

I have been searching about all over the place but cant seem to find anything that will help me.

Thanks mate

Status: offline 		Well since my computer crashed halfway through this posting I am not going to retype all the really intelligent stuff I said the first time...

So Here...

      

And yes it was covered in a previous post...

I am afraid that if you were a horse, a pneumatic hammer might be in the not to distant future… 

Just kidding...

Kinda...

You owe me some free HTA form scripting!
